The Thai Chamber of Commerce (TCC) has urged the government to grant local businesses the same tax incentives as foreign investors to enhance production efficiency and competitiveness. TCC Chairman Sanan Angubolkul called for renewed tax breaks on corporate income and import duties for machinery, particularly in AI and robotics-driven sectors. The government is also pursuing trade negotiations, including an upcoming FTA signing with Bhutan and talks with the EU, UAE, South Korea, and Canada. Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan highlighted plans to boost exports and the electronics sector, while acknowledging Thailand’s challenge of high household debt at 90% of GDP. Discussions on investment incentives for Thai firms are set to take place with the Board of Investment.
